Working out is habitual, the more you do it, the more you can't go without doing it. The trick is getting into the habit. Once you get to a certain point you feel bad if you miss. The last few weeks I have gone 3 times each week and its starting to become automatic. Granted I can't get that 5:30 AM thing going again but I have been going in the afternoons and that is good for now.

Its amazing how good it feels too. More energy on the days I do work out. The secret is going to bed early and getting the sleep in too. Without sleep regardless of the time, your body doesn't recover or respond well when you go to do the workout.

I am amazed at how good my cardio is at least on the bike. I have been doing 30-45 minute rides and going about 10-12 miles on the stationary bike. I then lift weights for about 15-20 minutes and Im done. This is first phase, second phase is re-entering the pool. I will provide updates as I re-enter the swimming part. Stay tuned. That should begin sometime in October.
